I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied.
However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels(细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match the red shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.
On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients(客户) that morning.

However, when I was going to present(介绍) it to the clients, I found that I left the plan I had made the night before at home. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft(草稿) of it in my office.

Throughout the years of changing , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while some type of part-time job. Leaving a career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, , managed to make each house the very home that is safe and .

Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a 36 life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.
Then something 37 happened. One of our friends suffered from kidney stones (肾结石), which had to be 38 surgically as soon as possible. But it was not as 39 as that! Our friend could not 40 the operation, which put him into deep 41 . I didn’t know how to help him because I didn’t have any money either. 42 , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other 43 and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.
Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day 44 I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been 45 because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?

I tried 47 my things but no one wanted them. Then I had the idea of talking to my 48 .

I told him that I had a friend who was really in need. 50 I convinced him too and then he gave my two months’ salary without any 51 !
Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn’t know how to thank me. I just said, “Come on! Give me a 52 !”
Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the 53 time in your life! I’ve done a good thing by being a (an) 54 friend and I think it is well worth the 55 .
